In 1958, a widow named Vera Kessler raised the last of her children on less than $30 a week, in a rented house in Marion, Ohio. She owned almost nothing worth selling. But she kept a small notebook no one was allowed to read, and the single line on its last page is the reason we're here. Her generation didn't save money with apps — they saved it with objects. Cheap, plain things that sat by a door or in a drawer and quietly did their job for thirty years. We threw most of them out. Here are 25 of them.
